New guidance that could remove the blanket requirement for double-vaccinated NHS staff to isolate if they are a close contact of a Covid case will come within days, Scotlandâs deputy chief medical officer said on Monday.
Dr Dave Caesar said the new advice will be issued "in the next day or two" after it emerged that double-jabbed NHS staff in England will be allowed to carry on working in "exceptional circumstances".
Under the new system South of the Border, certain staff who are contacted by Test and Trace will need to show a negative PCR test before they can resume working, followed by daily lateral flow tests.
